Solutions Designed for
Structural and Pipe Welding
in the Shop or Field
Whatever and wherever you build, there
are Miller, Hobart and Bernard solutions
specifically developed to support you —
so you can effectively manage your labor
pool, achieve productivity goals, maintain
quality and reduce expenses.
Structural welding
In the shop, the ability to handle a wide variety
of ever-changing projects — and quickly adapt to
new ones — is key to success. In the field, each
jobsite has unique challenges that require versatile
equipment and materials to get work done on time,
under budget and according to spec. In either
environment, you’ll do the best work with
equipment and solutions created with your
success in mind.
Pipe welding
Fabricating pipe requires the flexibility to work
with multiple material types and thicknesses
while always producing excellent results. In the
field, successfully making critical pipe welds
that pass rigorous codes is a make-or-break
situation where cost overruns must be avoided.
Anywhere you weld pipe, versatility and consistent
performance are essential.
You win the jobs. We provide the
solutions to get them done.

Induction Heating
Fast, consistent heating
Traditional weld heating methods have numerous
drawbacks. Open-flame heating carries significant fuel
expenses, delivers inconsistent results and poses safety
risks. Resistance heating requires long setup/teardown
times with high maintenance costs. Improve weld quality
and your bottom line with Miller® induction heating.
Miller®ProHeat™ 35
This flexible induction heating system delivers more consistent
results and improves safety, while maximizing the productivity
you need. It’s available in three different configurations:
Liquid-cooled cables —
Ideal for applications that have
higher-temperature requirements or
geometries preventing the use of
air-cooled blankets, these versatile
cables can be used for preheating,
post-weld heat treatment, localized
stress relieving and hydrogen bake out.
Rolling induction system — A simple, cost-effective heating
solution that delivers fast and consistent heat for pipe, plate
and pressure vessel fabricators. The rolling inductor quickly delivers
up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit for preheat applications on moving
parts, so welders can be more productive.
Air-cooled blankets — Uniformly preheat pipe and plate up
to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Blankets apply easily and are
available in a wide variety of diameters and lengths to fit most
applications; rugged material withstands tough conditions in
industrial and construction settings.

 Structural Welding | Field Work
Welding in the field presents many challenges that can decrease productivity and limit your ability
to get quality work done on schedule and within budget — from excessive walks to the power source
and time-consuming rework, to unreliable MIG guns and the high cost of fuel to operate engine-driven
welders and generators. Count on Miller, Hobart and Bernard to deliver the flexible solutions you need
for high-quality, profitable, safer field work.

model delivers 10,000 watts of generator power, while the
500 Pro provides 20,000 watts — so you can plug in an
extra inverter-based power source for a second welding arc.
Superior arc control makes it easier to fine-tune for
hard-to-weld materials.

Miller®XMT® 350 FieldPro™ systems
with ArcReach® technology
Unnecessary walks to the power source cost you thousands
of dollars. XMT 350 FieldPro systems keep welders at the
arc and offer numerous benefits to maximize weld quality
and field productivity.
Cable Length Compensation (CLC™) — Automatically
adjusts voltage based on weld cable length — the voltage
you set is the voltage you get.
Adjust While Welding (AWW™) — Make adjustments
at the wire feeder or remote without stopping the arc.
Eliminating the walk to the power source to change
parameters improves productivity, quality and safety.
Auto-Line™ technology — Automatically connects to any
primary input voltage from 208 to 575 volts, single- or
three-phase, 50 or 60 Hz — no manual linking required.
Ideal when only “dirty” input power is available; manages
dips and spikes for consistently smooth, powerful arcs.
Bernard™ Dura-Flux™ MIG guns
Built to meet the demands of heavy-duty, self-shielded,
flux-cored applications, Dura-Flux MIG guns deliver multiple
advantages to improve productivity and comfort while
reducing costs.
Easier and more comfortable to use — A small trigger
guard can be used instead of the optional heat shield,
aiding maneuverability. The kink-resistant power cable
makes wire feeding exceptionally smooth, while the non-
metallic trigger absorbs less heat.
Longer life, easier maintenance — Sealed trigger
switch keeps out dirt and is easy to replace. Neck liner
replacement is easy — it doesn’t use set screws. Fast-
change, drop-in Centerfire™ contact tips last up to three
times longer than other tips.
Hobart®418 stick electrodes
This general-purpose electrode is
formulated to minimize hydrogen
formation and help eliminate
cracking. It’s easy to use in all
positions and delivers excellent

meets D1.8 seismic requirements and offers
excellent welder appeal in all positions, and in

Miller®ArcReach® technology and
accessories for structural welding
When welders make too many trips to the power source
for adjustments, they waste time and cost you money.
ArcReach technology delivers remote control of the power
source without a control cord, using the weld cables to
communicate parameters between the power source and
the accessories. With ArcReach technology, you get:
• More productivity and safety — Welders can make
adjustments at the weld joint, so there’s no need for
long walks to and from the power source, decreasing
the chance of slips, trips and falls.
• Better weld quality — There’s no need for a welder
to weld outside of optimal settings just to avoid a
long walk to the power source.
• More control at the weld joint — Power source
controls are disabled, preventing accidental changes
by personnel other than the welder.
• Time savings — Auto-Process Select™ saves time by
sensing electrode polarity and automatically engaging
the correct mode.
Accessories
ArcReach® SuitCase® wire feeder —
Delivers smooth wire feeding with
accurate, consistent speeds; supports
a wide voltage range for a variety of wires.

 Pipe Welding | Field Work
Field conditions present unique challenges
to pipe welding. Welders often must work long
distances from their power sources, making
parameter changes more difficult. Outdated
machines that don’t support advanced processes
reduce productivity and weld quality. And filler
metals that are prone to moisture absorption
can cause hydrogen cracking in the weld.
There’s a better way — get the improvements
in productivity and weld quality you need
with advanced solutions from Miller,
Hobart and Bernard.

Miller® PipeWorx 350 FieldPro™
Welding System
The PipeWorx 350 FieldPro system delivers arc performance
optimized for critical pipe welding in the field. This true
multiprocess system provides conventional stick, TIG,
flux-cored and MIG welding as well as advanced processes.

expense of special control cables
and reduces jobsite clutter. It
also makes process changeover
easier — eliminating the need
to get by with less than optimal
settings — and helps reduce
weld defects and rework.
Auto-Line™ technology — Automatically connects to any
primary input voltage from 208 to 575 volts, single- or
three-phase, 50 or 60 Hz — no manual linking required.
Ideal when only “dirty” input power is available; manages
